The Cambridge Handbook of Judicial Control of Arbitral Awards

The handbook focuses on the intersection of arbitration – as an alternative to litigation – and the court systems to which arbitration is ultimately beholden. The first three parts analyze issues relating to the interpretation of the scope of arbitration agreements, arbitrator bias and conflict of interest, arbitrator misconduct during the proceedings, enforceability of arbitral awards, and the grounds for vacating awards. The next section features fifteen country-specific reviews, which demonstrate that, despite the commonality of principles at the international level, there are a significant number of differences in the application of those principles at the national level.
